Serve it With
If entertaining, I like to serve these on a large platter along with some of my other favorite easy apps like Spinach Dip Bites and Cheese and Prosciutto Crescent Rolls. I like to serve them with two or three different preserves so that people can pick and choose.

When it comes to entertaining, I do like to serve a wine that will compliment the food. Brie pairs really well with an acidic white wine like chardonnay. If you prefer red wine, then a good cabernet Franc will also work well.
